Williamsport copy. The other Timely Superhero were in the VG+F range.

Very nice copy, mc, thanks for posting!

 

When you say the other books were in the vg+f range were you referring to the 1950s issues?

 

Yes and no. The other TIMELY Superhero comics such as Young Men 24, 26, MM #94, etc. There weren't that many Timely out of 3,000 comics. Most of the DC stuff from the late 40s and early 50s is VERY NICE.

Thanks for answering!

 

I saw a few of the DCs that you posted in a different thread and they are very nice indeed!

This one arrived today...HT #21 6.5 w/moderate P resto. I love Schomburg covers and could not resist in picking this one up from Rich. Hey - Thanks Rich! Very happy with the book.

 

I have two more war cover books that I am expecting two more classic war cover keys arrive within the next week or so, so I can hardly wait...it is going to be a Shomburg kind-a-month for me so I am just thrilled!

Absolutely nothing wrong with a Schomburg month! Looking forward to scans when you get the books!

Thanks for sharing. Here's my HT 21 and few more HT's.

Two years ago SA dominated the market and I remember suggestions that interest in GA stuff would remain flat. Keep the books coming guys.

[Earthbornpig]

Those are great looking books podboy! I especially like the robot cover on issue #23 - a classic cover for sure. Great stuff.

 

SS...I don't know how anyone can go wrong with GA Timelys. Is it possible - restored, unrestored, high grade, low grade. These books were some of the best ever. Covers that are what comics are all about. I love this stuff. To me - it is what comics are all about. I have favorite bronze and silver stuff, but I cannot resist this kind of stuff. Hopefully GA keeps flat for a while - although you don't see it with key Timely in any grade....to me, I much have a raw low or mid grade Timely book than a 9.6 or 9.8 bronze, copper or modern book. What say you...

[Earthbornpig]

PS...ya, I much rather have unrestored books, but if that were the case, I would not be able to really afford the books that I want. When I recently picked up my restored HT 12 - which looks fantastic I might add, I could never have afforded the book in same grade but unrestored.

 

To me, good resto on a key Timely or one of my personal grails -- well, I don't care ..... bring on .....I will take em all ......

 

Send me your restored, your colour touched, your piece replaced, your purple labels....I'll take em all.....

[Silver Surfer]

Totally agree. I have my favorite BA high grade books that I grew up with as a kid but nothing compares to the thrill of owning these books.

This arrived today:

 

[skybolt]

Wow, what grade is that beauty?

[drbanner]

Nice Torch 23!!

 

Did anyone here buy/see the Cap 28(?) in CGC 1.8 that ended yesterday at $400!?!?

I saw that a few days ago. Couldn't believe the bids. But then again, you already knew Captain America collectors are crazy!

[Point Five]

I saw that Cap 28 too. Pretty aggressive price, but it is a great cover, and that copy did present much better than a 1.8 (though I guess most books do in a 2-inch photo!).

[Timulty]

It is very difficult to escape the allure of Captain America and Human Torch comics. They just looks so great. Probably the best covers of the GA(well with some exceptions, of course) on a whole.

Wow, what grade is that beauty?

 

its a 6.5 - spine very dirty and 1/2 inch stain on back cover.

Small stains on the back cover don't bother me if the rest of the book looks great. Congrats.
